How to reliably get LLMs to count correctly?
1. Establish Methodology: Ask what it's counting and how. Have it apply that method. Manually confirm.
2. Try different data: Once you think the method is right, provide different data and have it double check.
3. Spot check: Finally confirm accuracy.

Taking time to dig into the data is always worth it.
I just spent 2 days with a bunch of customer data, and the takeaways led to different and more specific solutions than what we had been considering.
Also, Claude is a huge help with this kind of analysis.
So, just carve out the time and do it.

Our team has been looking into how to measure the effectiveness of the #AI tools in our SDLC. We've settled on these for now:
1. Cycle time changes in Jira
2. Refined story points for a month
3. A detailed SDLC survey
I'd be curious how others are measuring #AIDevelopment practices in your #SDLC

What's your approach to getting #claude to write like you?
I always tell it to be "laid back and brief" - I also have a project with a bunch of writing samples, which works great in combination with this prompt.
It seems like the new "concise" style is still pretty verbose...

I wrote some thoughts down recently on getting up to speed as head of #product at a new company. My process is all about building alignment around clear goals and then starting the drumbeat so we execute together. I'd love to hear how others think about this.

Any favorite pieces on software testing?

How are people measuring the efficacy of AI for software? Especially with small to medium-sized teams?
Anecdotally, our devs are reporting about a 30% productivity gain with Cursor + home-grown tools. This is visible in a perceived uptick in velocity. We'd like to be more quantitative though...
